A NAMELESS CASE.

sly case has been very curious one
for about thirteen years, At intervals
of about one week I would be attack ed
with spells of severe and most excrucia :
ting pain, always commencing in the re-
Rion of my kidneys. The pain would
then go upwards aud affect my body AID
mead, and seemed to penetrate my very
eye-balls, creating the most intense suf-
1ering, lasting about eight hours each
spell.
I resorted 10 all kinds of medicine
without benefit. Several doctors treated
my case, but none gave relief. finally
used 3. =. r. as an experiment., and to
.sny utter astonisbm ment all pain aud suf
'fering vanished after using three doses.
To the present time / have used three
bottles. and not pain has ever returned.
/ do not know what was the matter.
neither could my physician name the
complaint. The B. B. B. acted finely
and powerfully upon my kidneys; my
appetite has been splendid and my con
stitution built up rapidly.

Twas much amused at an incident that oc-
CURED when we were all seated around the
arena. SIR. Levy played "The Star spangied

naturally enough, the Americans in his audi
ence stood up and uncovered. The English

kissing on the Stage.


There is nothing moro talked about in tho
atrical circles than the kissing OF Charles
Coghlan and Mrs. Langtry in "Lady Clam
carty." 1t was SO deliberate, SO utterly OBJ
livious of the big fiddle, so unconscious Of the
Lass drum The seemingly rapturous kissing
that Emma Abbott used to bestow on Castle
never stirred a hair on Husband Wetherells
head. The kissing of Mary Anderson Was
the most transparent make believe in the
world. When Clara Morris used to kiss
Charley Thorne in Camille" she would take
him on his knees before her, muss his hair,
devOur him with loving looks, dip down upon
his face. and kiss him lingeringly on his nose,
to his intense amusement When Risnold
was in the country he awoke the town kissing
Susan when he played William The women
I'm the audience used to admire, but Susan
suffered. Rignold was wiry, red bearded
man, who shaved twice a week and no oftener.
He would powder the stubble on his face till
his complexion was lovely, but poor Susan
A section Of sandpaper could have hurt no
worse. When he got home from sea in the
play and met Susan she would fly into his
arms very much as the victim sentenced 10
the inquisition to undergo the virgins kiss
knowing she had to and was going to get
hurt. He would hold that poor girls head
Dack, make rusn, KISS OOth eyes, root sec.
ond under her ear, and then kiss her straight
in the mouth, and all the while this adjaccn,
field Of cheek and mound OF chin were taking
off her cuticle like nutmeg crater.
But this kiss Of Coghlan's is realistic Tna
remarks it elicits are funny. The other night
as the lingering kiss was pressed upon the up
turned mouth Of the famous Lily, u lady said
with a sigh: "What a pity it's in a play. >
An old fellow, who looked through a pair oi
| glasses and over lot of gray chin whiskers
just Horace Greeley used to DO, slapped
his leg with big freckled hand, and eiacu
lated: "Whew!' Everybody laughed amos,
as much as they did another night when @

RoBBING THE LODGE.
Some OF the Members suspected OF Com
mitting the Crime.

In the town Of Hamilton, Vs., like In this
city, there is an order among the colored
people known as the Gallilean Fishermen,
which has become quite strong In member
ship. The treasurer OF the lodge, Matthew
Harvey, lives about mile and a half north
OF this town, and last Friday night was
away from home, attending a meeting OF
the order. While thus absent two men
entered the house, and while one OF them
seized Harvey's wife and held her firmly In
a chair the other, with the aid OF a lamp,
looked through a chest In the adjoining
room, where was found and carried away
1925 Of the lodge money. The surprise
was so sudden aud the movements
Of the men so quick that Mrs. Har-
vey failed to identify the men beyond
recognizing that they were colored. They
appeared to be familiar with the house aud
everything pertaining TO the money, as
when they entered one said: "There Ia $l75
here belonging TO the Galliean Fishermen
they had come after 1t and were going to
have IT," That was the sum in the treas.
urer's possession, but they failed to get $50,
which was hid In the family Bible. Suspi-
cion rests on some OF the members OF the
order, and II is believed that the guilty par
ties will be captured.

Good Work on the Diamond by the
Homo Team.

The Washington Base Ball Club has
given its admirers two admirable ex-
hibitions Of ball playing since returning
home, and In some degree regained the
confidence OF the public In both contests
engaged In with the New York team last
week the Statesmen showed up In excel
lent form and gave evidence Of the manner
In which they are able to play when the
spirit moves them.
During the present week the Washing
tons will play the New Yorks on Monday
and Tuesday, and the Bostons Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. This
Will close the regular championship sea-
son, but short exhibition series will after
ward take place, and the "Mets" and
Baltimore clubs will be the Washingtons'
opponents. To.day's game will be called
promptly at 3:i5 o'clock, and Whitney and
Welch are likely to be the opposing pitch
